11 Days in Namibia
Journey through the marvellous desert and dunes of Namibia, starting in the capital of Windhoek. Bordering the Kalahari Desert, Mariental serves as a stopover to the Fish River Canyon, where wondrous vistas and wildlife await. Journey on to Luderitz, a small German coastal town for seafood and siestas before venturing to Aus, where the wild horses of the desert are a must-see. End your adventure at Sossusvlei with towering dunes and golden sunsets.

Windhoek is the only proclaimed city in Namibia and acts as the administrative and legislative centre and a gateway to the country.

Although the city cannot compete with some of Namibia’s...

Mariental is a small village on the fringes of the Kalahari Desert whose roots are firmly entrenched in farming and agriculture. It is also an area of significant importance to the local Nama people.

There are a number of accommodation options in town for those just passing through, but visitors may be tempted to stay a while and explore the lodges on Mariental’s outskirts.

Shifts and changes in the earth’s crust some 500 million years ago resulted in severe water erosion and collapsing valleys that left plunging ravines and looming rock faces in its wake. This area is today known as the Fish River Canyon, one of Namibia’s (many) crowning glories and the 2nd largest canyon in the world. Stretching across 160km in length, 27km in width and depths sometimes reaching 550m, the nature of the canyon varies depending on what time of year you visit. An arid expansive riverbed in the dry season morphs into a rushing rainy-season torrent – both equally stunning contrasts. The canyon (and the country at large) is a mecca...

Luderitz had its origins in guano-harvesting and fishing before offering its services as a trading post to passers-by. The town exploded into a flurry of activity once people caught wind of diamonds being discovered. Although that proved short-lived, this charming town has retained its German-style architecture and has remained largely untouched, making it a popular tourist attraction. While the town is pounded by waves and wind from the Benguela current, this natural phenomenon has also brought with it a plethora of marine and birdlife. Visitors are enchanted by the mist-laden and ethereal quality given by the sea spray at Bogenfels Arch, a 30m natural arch...

With its unique position on a rocky outcrop overlooking Lüderitz Bay, the Lüderitz Nest Hotel is the choice of many travellers wanting to explore the region. The excellent seafood on offer is a highlight for many, and the cosy atmosphere and friendly staff are in sharp contrast to the magnificent desolation and mystique of the area.

In the middle of southern Namibia lies a little town called Aus. Following German surrender to South African forces at Otavi in 1915, the once unassuming village of Aus became an internment camp for German military personnel. By 1919 the camp had closed leaving no evidence of its dark past except a few WWI graves. Although still small and unassuming, Aus now welcomes passing tourists who are exploring Namibia’s wonders by road. The town’s One Stop Garage offers fuel, mechanical and vehicle recovery services. The owner, Steve Prinsloo, is always up to date on the surrounding area’s road conditions and is eager to help travellers on their way....

Sossusvlei is located in the Namib-Naukluft Park, a prime destination in Namibia that showcases mammoth sand dunes up to 325m in height. The gates to the park are open to the public between sunrise and sunset and the dunes can be reached after an hour drive from the Sesriem entrance gate. These so-called star-shaped dunes come in a myriad of red and orange shades and were formed by aeons of forceful winds whipping past in different directions. A sought after subject for artists and photographers, they are best viewed at the break and end of day when the warm tones of the dunes are starkly contrasted against the glaring pale surfaces of the large clay pans...
